I definitely enjoyed this story but as other readers have mentioned, the constant back and forth between time periods can get a little confusing at times; especially in the beginning as you're still learning the characters' names.
Once I managed to get over this small burden, I found the storyline to be quite diverse as it explored many different aspects of the same event through a cast of characters experiencing it in different times in parallel.
However, I was expecting more twists and turns along the way (I don't think I gasped even once throughout).

Solid thriller with multiple points of view, all of the characters (hold a few randos) feel fully fleshed out and the story arc comes together nicely. The few twists really surprised me and anytime a thriller can actually surprise me is a win!
It’s really tough to tell you what kept this from being 5 stars without spoilers, so I’ll just say this: it’s a bit messy in some parts with loose ends that don’t quite come together, or critical plot points that are just thrown casually together. BUT! It’s more good than bad and I would definitely recommend it. I’ve owned “And then she was gone” for years and never picked it up, now I’m finally inspired to.
